Encore 257 JDJ Range Time
« on: July 07, 2010, 11:49:06 AM »
Shooting some fire form loads. I bought the barrel used and its 17 inches long.








15 shots. Dang fliers opened up the group. The main group was .900 inches.



Tender barrel is a 14 inch stainless 257JDJ.

If you have a 17 inch barrel you better put a rifle stock on it...  The BATFE will get you!

I'm sorry, you are mistaken.  There is a minimum length for rifle barrels but no maximum length for pistol barrels.  The only limitations are practical ones.

There may be some state laws, but no federal max length.  Curtis is right.
